  • Patent number: 7114297
    Abstract: A modular rounded corner piece for forming rounded corners of a pool. The modular rounded corner piece may include a plate portion and a liner receptor portion. The liner receptor portion may include a channel formed by a top wall and a bottom wall. The channel may align with a pool liner receptor slot in the coping around the perimeter of the pool. Thus, a continuous liner receptor slot may be formed around the interior circumference of the pool for receiving an edge of a pool liner thereinto. The modular rounded corner piece may be installed on the pool sidewall to provide a gapless alignment between the liner receptor on the pool sidewall and the liner receptor in the rounded side of the corner plate.

  • Publication number: 20040018051
    Abstract: A device for attaching a form board to an edge of a pool to facilitate placement of a concrete deck. The device may include a clip configured to pass through the form board and to attach to a channel formed in a track retainer positioned on an edge of the pool. The clip may include a bolt having a tapered adjustment piece attached to one end and a threaded nut on the opposite end. The nut may be rotated to draw the tapered adjustment piece into an expansion member causing the expansion member to expand. The expansion member may contact a ridge in the channel to from an interference fit to prevent the clip from being removed from the channel. The clip can be quickly fastened and released by simply rotating the nut, thus the clip can be reused repeatedly.
